    Muzzle Brakes

    The muscle brake has its first port 90 degrees to help block the blast of the additional rearward angled baffles. My opinion only, but it offers a perfect mix of recoil reduction and minimal blast back for the shooter. Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

    Pistol reloading from glock. How do I do it?

    I reload for my Glocks and haven't had any problems in the years I've been doing it. I've used single stage with rcbs dies and the last 4000 rounds have been on a Dillon 550b with Dillon dies. I use plated bullets and have never had any issues with case sizing or feeding. Sent from my Nexus 5...

    Barrel length for my Remington 700 .308

    My opinion, if you only shoot factory ammo, get the 20. If you reload, go as long as you are comfortable with. My 308 at 26" barrel shoots the 208gr amax at 2640 with reloader 17 and does great out past 1000... Fwiw. Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

    Which Remington 700?

    Re: Which Remington 700? I'm nowhere near a pro but, with your budget I would recommend what I did. Get a 700 sps varmint and a vortex viper 6.5-20x50. After base and rings you should be right around $1000. Then as you go you can upgrade. Stock, trigger, reloading equipment, etc. It’s...

    Recipe for 155 Sierra Palma Bullet.

    Re: Recipe for 155 Sierra Palma Bullet. i can't get to the lands without the bullet almost falling out of the case, didn't measure because it wouldn't have enough bearing surface with the neck. I did have one load that shot in the high .2s but it wouldn't repeat, so i think it was luck...

    Recipe for 155 Sierra Palma Bullet.

    Re: Recipe for 155 Sierra Palma Bullet. I give up, my SPS V doesn't like the 2156. Ive tried everything from 44 to 48.5 varget, seating from 2.800 through 2.840 and br2s and WLRs. all charge weights .3 at a time and all seating changes .010 at a time. I think it's time to try 168 AMAX...

    primer craters, not always a pressure indicator?

    Re: primer craters, not always a pressure indicato MY factory SPS V has a chamfered firing pin hole and also makes craters on even light loads. After a little research online, it looks like Remington is doing this on purpose like the others have said. They say that it improves the strength...
